How can we help?
Short answers, each checked against the app. Pick what you came for.
Get started
From the box to your first number: the quickstart and your first pull.
Use the app
Take a test, follow a plan, build and share a workout, set up your hangboard, train without the plate.
- Take a test How to start one of the three tests from the Test tab, choose the hold you test on, pull on the plate, and find your results afterwards.
- The max strength test How to take the max strength test, read the peak force of each hand and the grade line, and keep your result as your max so workouts in % of max are right.
- The endurance test How to take the 4-minute endurance test, one hand at a time, and read its results: the app's critical force, your sustainable force and the other numbers.
- The finger strength test How to take the finger strength test, one finger at a time on each hand, and read the result of each finger and the balance between your two hands.
- Follow a training plan How to choose a plan or have one built, start it, do each day's session, read its block, set its reminders, and what happens when you miss a day or come back from a break.
- Change a plan: move a day, pause, stop How to change a training plan: rest today, move or skip a day, push the plan back, make it lighter, pause it for a trip, stop it, and come back to it.
- Build your own workout How to build your own workout in the app: its sets of hangs and rests, the load in kg, % of body weight or % of max, and how to edit, copy or delete it.
- Train without the plate How to run a session on the timer when your plate is not with you or its batteries are flat, what the screen shows, and what the app records then.
- Set up your hangboard and your holds How to tell the app which hangboard and which edges you use, what to do if your board is not in the list, and how exercises are drawn.
- Share a workout How to send one of your own workouts to a friend or the climbers you coach with a link, what they receive, how to stop sharing, and public workouts.
- Work with a coach How to let a coach see your plan and your results, how a coach invites a climber, what the coach can see, and how to stop.
How it works
What each test measures, and what your numbers say about your climbing.
Fix a problem
The plate does not connect, a session did not save, a weight looks wrong.
- The plate does not connect The app keeps looking for your Entralpi plate and does not find it. What to check, in order: the plate asleep, Bluetooth pairing, batteries and permissions.
- The plate is lost during a session The app says "We lost your Entralpi" in the middle of a workout: what it does by itself to reconnect, what you can do, and what is saved of the session.
- The weight or the force looks wrong The app weighs you before each session, and every force it shows depends on that weight. How to weigh in again, and what to check.
- A session did not save Where a finished session goes, how to tell whether it reached your account, what to do when the upload failed, and the few cases where nothing is kept.
Reference
Units, language, sounds and the voice.
- Sounds and the voice How to choose the sounds of a session, what each tone means, how to turn on the voice and the sounds that follow your force, and how they mix with music.
- Units and language How to change the unit of force (kg, lbs or N) and the language of the app (English or French) in Settings, and what each one changes.
Train
How to train your fingers, with the research behind each method. Pick a topic:
- No-hangs 1 article A no-hang is a pull on a hangboard edge with your feet on the floor, to a load you choose, such as 40% of your maximum. Choosing the load lets you dose it precisely, repeat it often and change it mid-set. The evidence is thin: one 2024 study found a small gain from the Abrahangs protocol, not significant against climbing alone.
- Finger strength 8 articles Finger strength is the biggest physical predictor of climbing ability. The best-studied way to build it is max hangs: about 10 seconds at a load you could hold roughly 3 seconds longer, with long rests, twice a week. Adding weight on a medium edge is the easier way to progress, though the evidence that it beats smaller edges is weak.
- Endurance and pump 4 articles The pump comes from a mismatch between how hard your forearms work and how much oxygen they can use. Train it with intermittent hangs at the right intensity: low loads below critical force (30 to 40% of max) build the aerobic base, and heavier ones build strength-endurance. The load you pick decides the adaptation you get.
- Testing 4 articles Test three things: maximum finger force, critical force (endurance) and rate of force development (speed). Use the same edge, grip, device and warm-up each time so results compare, and retest every 4 to 8 weeks. Maximum force is the one to start with.
- Plan your training 8 articles Start hangboarding once you have climbed regularly for at least a year, with no pain and no growth left. Plan two hard sessions a week, warm up first, and test every 4 to 8 weeks to see if the plan works. Very light finger work can be done more often.
- Mind and goals 3 articles Start by finding out what you want from your climbing over the next 6 to 12 months, then sort those goals and compare them to where you are now. On the wall, climb for yourself, focus on the task rather than the result, and learn what causes your stress.
